Missed Opportunity

Some opportunities only come along once in a lifetime or very rarely. This past weekend was one of those for our country. I am saying this a little tongue in cheek by the way.
The US Government just passed up a major opportunity to really clean up a 'problem'. The problem? Illegal Immigration. Millions of illegal immigrants attended rallies in most major cities around the country this past weekend. All the government had to do was contain those rallies, gather up those that couldn't prove citizenship and load up the buses for Tijuana. Problem solved. Well, maybe not. Most of them would come right back. Our porous borders are really no barrier for those determined to come here. An action like that would have really put a crimp in our economy. Whether you believe illegals are taking jobs Americans don't want to do or not. The fact is that there are millions of them and they are a large part of our society. I believe they are breaking the law and that we should do something about that. Amnesty? I don't like that solution. Bottom line is, that if a Mexican national can find his/her way into our country illegally to pick lettuce or do landscaping or clean a swimming pool etc. then someone like Osama Bin Laden et al can find their way here too. And, they won't be picking any lettuce.
